Active Soccer 3

Bonito y divertido, me gustó bastante.

Juego de mierda.

A game for the Experienced Soccer Gamer (review on the 1.0 launch fo the game): I think the game is designed for the experienced soccer gamer, as the unique Shield game mechanic does give the game something unique and a bit of depth. And on the tactics, there the game is developed quite strongly. So if you are an experience soccer gamer this game might be for you. As the developer is very involved and open to suggestions and feedback from the community, that I believe also consists mostly of Experienced Soccer Gamers. Not for the Casual Soccer Gamer like me (review on the 1.0 launch of the game): For me it does fall short on the following three key gameplay mechanics. - Complete lack of control on defending corners, the manual selection / auto selection both will act like a pinball machine switching between players. Same for competing for high balls on the center of the pitch. Althoug I do admit, this might just be a skill issue for the casual soccer gamer. - A far too cumbersome Shielding game mechanic, that is very very contra intuitive to use at all. And therefore also the absense of a Jockey mechanic to block incoming balls from attackers (as the game expects you to use the cumbersome Shielding game mechanic for this it seems). - The aftertouch curve is not really working for me when using the thumbstick, and my workaround using the D-pad instead in the end was just too cumbersome. If I could I would give this game a 50/50 score, but since I can not I rather recommend the game to Experienced Soccer Gamers. As I do really respect the effort this indie developer is putting into the game. Even though the game is not for me. Please note, the response of the developer on the 4th of december 2023 below is on a previous Early Access review of the game.
